Industrial machinery with its advancement in engineering are the tools used and applied in the industries and factories to enhance the proficiency and efficiency in terms of overall production.

Types of industrial machineryShaping machine:
A shaping machine is used to machine surfaces. It can cut curves, angles and many other shapes. It is a popular machine in a workshop because its movement is very simple although it can produce a variety of work.
The shaping machine is used to machine flat metal surfaces especially where a large amount of metal has to be removed. Other machines such as milling machines are much more expensive and are more suited to removing smaller amounts of metal, very accurately. The cutting tool removes the metal from work which is carefully bolted down.

Shaping Machine

The shaping machine is a simple and yet extremely effective machine. It is used to remove material, usually metals such as steel or aluminum, to produce a flat surface. However, it can also be used to manufacture gears such as rack and pinion systems and other complex shapes. Inside its shell/casing is a crank and slider mechanism that pushes the cutting tool forward and returns it to its original position.

Lathe machine:
A lathe is a machine tool which spins the work piece to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.

Lathe Machine

Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, cue sticks, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, musical instruments (especially woodwind instruments), crankshafts and camshafts.

Shearing machine:
A machine which cuts away knots and loose yarn ends from the surface of cloth after it has been woven, to give the cloth a smooth surface.

Power machine:
A machine press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a work piece
